Abstract
The hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1メ is a key regulator associated with tumorigenesis, angiogenesis, and metastasis. HIF-1メ regulation under hypoxia has been highlighted as a promising therapeutic target in angiogenesis-related diseases. Here, we identify diacetyl atractylodiol (DAA) from Atractylodes japonica (A. japonica) as a potent HIF-1メ inhibitor that inhibits the Akt signaling pathway. DAA dose-dependently inhibited hypoxia-induced HIF-1メ and downregulated Akt signaling without affecting HIF-1メ protein stability. Furthermore, DAA prevented hypoxia-mediated angiogenesis as determined by in vitro tube formation and in vivo chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assays. DAA may be of use in the treatment of hypoxia-related tumorigenesis, including angiogenesis
